Casual Iraqi spot delivering standout shawarma, kabobs, and generous lunch plates at fair prices, with occasional service inconsistencies and mixed sides/bread quality.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels warm and rustic with a casual, welcoming vibe. Servers are often friendly and accommodating, though busy nights can stretch waits. One diner summed it up: "The shawarma tasted like care went into it," and the lunch plates feed generously. The cooking leans traditional Iraqi with grilled meats, shawarma, and mezze rather than theatrics. Expect well-seasoned kabobs, smooth hummus, and hearty rice plates; bread and rice flavors can vary, but meats are the consistent draw. If you love straightforward, charcoal-kissed plates, this will hit the spot. Families do well here thanks to kid-pleasing options like fries, pizza, burgers, and mild kabobs with rice. Portions are shareable, and lunch specials at $13.99 stretch the budget. No kids menu is listed, but the menu has plenty that children will actually eat.
